Insights
Aptevo reports encouraging 85% remission rate for mipletamig in AML while expanding pipeline with new solid tumor candidate APVO455.
Aptevo's Q2 update reveals a significant clinical milestone with their lead candidate mipletamig achieving an 85% remission rate (11/13 patients) in frontline AML patients across two combination therapy trials. This remarkably high response rate substantially outperforms current standards for AML treatment, particularly with the favorable safety profile showing no cytokine release syndrome in frontline patients—a common and potentially serious side effect with similar therapeutics.
The company has strategically expanded its CD3 bispecific portfolio with APVO455, a Nectin-4 x CD3 bispecific targeting multiple solid tumors including bladder, breast, NSCLC, and head and neck cancers. This addition complements their existing pipeline featuring mipletamig (AML) and APVO442 (prostate cancer). All three candidates share the same CRIS-7-derived CD3 binding domain architecture, which appears to be delivering the intended safety advantages in clinical testing.
What's particularly notable is the clinical performance in patients with poor prognosis genetic markers, with some achieving complete remission. At least one patient progressed to stem cell transplantation—typically the best path to potential cure but rare in unfit AML populations. This suggests mipletamig may meaningfully improve outcomes for difficult-to-treat patients.
On the financial front, Aptevo raised
Mipletamig's
CD3 bispecific portfolio now includes three candidates - mipletamig (AML), APVO442 (prostate cancer), and newly added APVO455 - advancing a targeted, tumor-specific strategy uniquely engineered for safety, tumor specificity and clinical impact
Mipletamig, continues to outperform benchmarks, trial enrollment continues
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON / / August 11, 2025 / Aptevo Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:APVO), a clinical-stage biotechnology Company focused on developing novel immune-oncology therapeutics based on its proprietary ADAPTIR® and ADAPTIR-FLEX® platform technologies, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a business update.
Second Quarter Highlights
Pipeline Expansion - Introduced APVO455, a Nectin-4 x CD3 bispecific for solid tumors, expanding the Company's suite of differentiated CRIS-7-derived CD3 - engaging molecules in development, including lead candidate, mipletamig
Mipletamig for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) - Achieved
85% remission* rate (11/13 patients) in frontline AML patients across two trials in combination therapyIncreased Liquidity - Completed financings that raised a total of $15.9 million, extending cash runway into late 4Q25
Secured an equity line of credit for up to an additional
$25 million in capital
*Remission = complete remission (CR) and, complete remission with blood markers that have not yet recovered (CRi).
"The second quarter marked a period of decisive progress for Aptevo across both clinical and corporate fronts," said Marvin White, President and CEO of Aptevo. We are energized by the expansion of our differentiated CD3 bispecific portfolio - anchored by mipletamig in AML and APVO442 in prostate cancer - with the introduction of APVO455, a Nectin-4 x CD3 bispecific designed to address a broad range of solid tumor types. Broadening our reach into solid tumors, beyond prostate cancer, with APVO455 underscores Aptevo's commitment to advancing differentiated, next-generation immunotherapies in areas of significant unmet need."
Mr. White continued, "We're pleased to report that our lead asset, mipletamig, continues to perform as designed in the clinic. In frontline acute myeloid leukemia (AML),
APVO455: A New T-Cell Engager Targeting Solid Tumors
APVO455 is a preclinical Nectin-4 x CD3 bispecific T-cell engager designed for tumors such as bladder, breast, NSCLC, and head and neck cancers, where nectin-4 is highly expressed. Unlike other approaches that restrict activity to acidic tumor environments or rely on activated T-cells, APVO455 is designed to avoid binding to or triggering T-cell activation in the periphery and do so only in the presence of nectin-4 positive tumor cells. This offers the potential for a broader therapeutic window, more consistent immune activation and the favorable safety and tolerability characteristics of Aptevo's clinical stage CD3 engager, mipletamig.
CRIS-7-Derived CD3 Portfolio
With this APVO455 addition to the pipeline, Aptevo now has a suite of three CD3-engaging molecules in development. All three molecules share the same CRIS-7-derived CD3 binding domain in the same orientation from within our ADAPTIR/ADAPTIR-FLEX platform that we believe drives the safety results, especially regarding our intention to reduce cytokine release syndrome, as is being delivered in the clinic by mipletamig. In addition, APVO455 and APVO442 contain CD3 binding domains that are optimized for localizing to solid tumors. All three molecules are designed to drive tumor-specific immune activation while limiting harmful side effects to the patient. The suite includes:
Mipletamig, a CD123 x CD3 bispecific for frontline AML, currently in a Phase 1b/2 trial
APVO442, a PSMA x CD3 bispecific targeting prostate cancer, currently in preclinical development
And now APVO455, a Nectin-4 x CD3 bispecific developed to address multiple solid tumor types
Additional Pipeline Candidates
Aptevo continues to develop clinical candidate ALG.APV-527 ( 4-1BB x 5T4) and preclinical candidates APVO711, a checkpoint inhibitor with added functionality and APVO603, a 4-1BB x OX40 molecule. All targeting multiple solid tumor types.
Mipletamig Data Highlights
Results from the RAINIER trial, reported to date demonstrate mipletamig's increasingly impressive clinical profile, and highlight its potential as a differentiated, highly targeted immunotherapy with a compelling safety profile. As evidence grows, the Company believes that mipletamig is emerging as a strong candidate to reshape frontline AML treatment for unfit patients and potentially advance the standard of care.
Efficacy Data Continues to Outperform Benchmarks
To date,
85% frontline patients across two trials have achieved remissionOf these remissions, multiple patients were considered to have poor prognosis at screening based on the genetic biomarkers of their disease and achieved CR, including one patient who was taken off study and successfully received a stem cell transplant. This is the most favorable outcome because transplant offers the best chance for a cure, although it is a rare occurrence in the unfit AML patient population
Stand Out Safety and Tolerability Outcomes Continue
No CRS has been reported in frontline patients treated to date
